The plunger features a Delrin knob handle for tool-free manual operation and a 3\/8-16 threaded body for secure installation into tapped holes. With an initial end force of 0.25 pounds and a final end force of 2 pounds, the DKL38-G provides consistent spring-loaded resistance across its travel range. The maximum plunger diameter measures 0.25 inches, and the body length is 0.94 inches. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install this type of plunger in jigs, fixtures, tooling panels, and positioning equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DKL38-G is suited for light-duty indexing and positioning tasks in both production and maintenance environments. Its compact body length of 0.94 inches and plunger projection of 0.18 inches make it appropriate for space-constrained assemblies. The Delrin knob allows operators to adjust or release the plunger by hand without additional tooling, which suits applications where frequent repositioning is needed. This plunger is sold individually and is a direct-mount component requiring a standard 3\/8-16 tapped hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking plunger type with Delrin knob handle for tool-free manual operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 threaded body for installation into standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 0.25 pounds rising to a final end force of 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum plunger diameter of 0.25 inches with a plunger projection of 0.18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact body length of 0.94 inches suitable for space-constrained assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead diameter of 0.75 inches with a head and shoulder height of 0.65 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-mount locking knob handle plunger for any application requiring a 3\/8-16 threaded plunger with light spring-end force in jigs, fixtures, or positioning equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly tapped 3\/8-16 hole in the receiving component. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before threading in the plunger body. Tighten by hand or with an appropriately sized wrench to avoid damaging the Delrin knob or over-torquing the threaded body. De-energize or lock out any associated machinery before servicing or replacing plunger components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnob Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.94 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\/Shoulder\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead and Shoulder Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.65 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: DKL38-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694132068658,"sku":"DKL38-G","price":26.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bc761af95c65b268efe9b92872d3eb9.jpg?v=1788320689","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dkl38-g-locking-knob-handle-plunger-3-8-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
